By Lawrence A RobinsonWith rent prices and the Central Florida’s population on the rise, many residents are having a hard time finding housing within their budgets. The median rent price increase 3% to 6% every year and household incomes are not keeping up.

The number of affordable houses being built and planned will never be enough to satisfy the needs of the community. These ‘lower value’ homes are not affordable to the existing area residents.

By Roger CaldwellMany residents in Florida would like to believe that Florida is turning into a purple state, because there are more Democrats on the voting rolls. But, President Trump in 2016 turned the state red, and won by 113,000 votes. In the governor’s cabinet, the most powerful group in the state, one member is a Democrat and the other three are Republicans.

by Louis Skinner-Esq.By the way, can we let the cat out of the bag? Over the past few decades the White Women vote has controlled the winner of elections. They are the reason why Obama won. They are the reason why Hillary lost.

Trump's new tax code stabs Black tax payers right in the wallet. The 3 year limit to amend your tax has been eliminated. The IRS admits that the average taxpayer recoups about $2800 for each year with a 3 year maximum amendment period. So, if you amend your last three years of tax returns, you could recoup a minimum of $8400.

By Attorney Natalie JacksonNow is the time to get on the #AndrewGillum train. Don't be sad that your candidate lost to Andrew Gillum in the primary. They were good candidates but they were not going to win the general election (the ultimate goal) but Andrew Gillum will win if we all rally behind him. The Democrats had 5 great candidates with solidly democrat platforms. However, only Andrew Gillum is a true progressive and not just a "new" progressive.

Democrats have to win back the "Bernie Democrats" and they have to motive the 3.5 million registered independent voters to actually vote democrat. As nice as all the other primary candidates were, they were not going to do that. Andrew Gillum is the only real choice if Democrats are serious about motivating old and new voters and winning Florida back. Andrew Gillum is the only real "other" in the race, and for once "other" is a great thing.
